Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers! This Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, don't miss the Spotlight Hour featuring Voltorb and Hisuian Voltorb! This double-Pokémon Spotlight Hour presents a fantastic opportunity to snag both regular and Hisuian Voltorb, including their shiny variants.
Prepare for a Catching Spree:
With two Pokémon in the spotlight, stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense. Maximize your chances of catching both and potentially encountering their shiny forms. Ensure you have ample space in your Pokémon storage to avoid interruptions during the event.
Voltorb (#100, Kanto Region):
Voltorb, the Electric-type Pokémon, evolves into Electrode using 50 candies. Each catch yields 3 candies and 100 Stardust. It boasts a max CP of 1141, with 109 Attack and 111 Defense. While powerful, remember its weaknesses: Ground-type moves inflict 160% damage. Electric, Flying, and Steel-type moves deal reduced damage (63%). The optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge, delivering 5.81 DPS and 40.62 TDO, boosted in Rainy weather. A blue Shiny Voltorb awaits discovery.
Hisuian Voltorb (#100, Hisui Region):
Hisuian Voltorb, also #100 in the Pokédex, shares Voltorb's evolution path and reward structure (50 candies for Hisuian Electrode, 3 candies and 100 Stardust per catch). Its stats mirror Voltorb's (1141 CP, 111 Defense, 109 Attack). However, its type matchups differ. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type moves deal 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type moves inflict 63% damage. Electric-type attacks only deal 39% damage. The best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt, resulting in 5.39 DPS and 37.60 TDO. Weather boosts are available in Partly Cloudy and Rainy conditions. Look for the black-bodied Shiny Hisuian Voltorb!
Don't miss this exciting opportunity to expand your Pokédex and add these powerful Electric-types (and their shiny counterparts) to your collection!
